Coat Corner: Cape Coat from Littlewoods Direct

Like the oversized collar, the cape coat is another style we’ve been seeing a lot of this year in outerwear, and you won’t hear any complaints about that from us.

We like the wearable drama of the cape, especially on coats like this one from Littlewoods, which retain the feel of a cape in the wide sleeves, but not so much that you’re going to feel like a character in a costume drama every time you wear it.

This one comes in winter white, which would be one of our favourite coat colours, were it not for the huge amount of dry cleaning coats of this shade always seem to require.

It’s £85 from Littlewoods Direct, and you may want to invest in a pair of long gloves at the same time, if you don’t want your arms to freeze.
